They are probably fine for pool room speakers. I use $30 in-ceiling speakers from Parts Express and they work great in our bathroom/bedroom. You don't need exotic speakers for a 'utility' room unless you plan on also using it for critical listening.
That review does have some pretty negative comments about YAPO. It is sad that they rate the output power with 1 or 2 channels driven. I'd like to see it with 5 or 7 driven. I'm guessing Yamaha wouldn't post the review on their website if it showed the numbers from those tests.
Philip - Satellite radio is growing in popularity and both services are adding thousands of subs every month. "Small customer base"??? I don't think so. Combined they have around 5M subs. XM forcasts 5M subs for themselves by the end of '05. I don't consider that a "small customer base." I...
SOLD. For sale are my new in box Rocket OD100 outdoor speakers in white. The box is unopened. I purchased them but have decided I will be using something else for outdoor audio (wife wants rock speakers). $78 shipped anywhere in the continental US. Thanks for looking!
For sale are my Onix Reference One MKII loudspeakers in piano black finish. I also have a pair of MKIIs in Rosewood. You can purchase either pair (I have two and only need one). Note that both pair I have are the newer MKII version of the speaker. These speakers have no marks, scratches...
Re: your Chaintech: are you sure you have ASIO or kernel streaming working so you have bit-perfect playback? You can tell by playing a DTS WAV file (I'm guessing you know this if you have the Chaintech but I'm just verifying :) ). If you don't have bit-perfect playback when Windows resamples to...
If you are looking into NAD check out yawaaudio.com. The prices on the website are MSRP but if you email them they will email you a quote. They have great prices. I have purchased three NAD items from them and they have been great to deal with. Besides being a customer I have no affiliation...
The antenna works fine on the dash. The FM modulator works but does not sound anywhere near as good as the direction connection. I use a direct connection into my Alpine 9815, but for a 1/2 hour trip I tried the modulator. The bass was much weaker as was the treble.
My understanding is that someone wrote a program that would rip the songs as MP3s, complete with artist and song title information. It really wouldn't be that difficult to determine when the songs start/end since the title changes. What I find rediculous is that because of that they pulled...
Exactly...digital amplifiers are cheap right now but once Rotel/B&K/etc get ahold of them all of a sudden they will cost $1000 minimum. I also have a feeling that the $300 units will mysteriously sound worse than they do today.
To add to this: My HTPC and HD receiver work fine when plugged directly into my Mits HDTV. When I run them through my NAD T753 I will get 'screen roll' whenever the signal becomes bright white. I am 99% certain that it is the NAD's video circuitry doing it. I also had a Rotel HT preamp...
The Denon model numbers change depending on where you purchase it. I have one local dealer that sells the 3805 while the other sells the ### (don't know the model number, but it is a 3805). My understanding is they do that so you can't price match since they are not the same.

http://www1.us.dell.com/content/prod...=19&l=en&s=dhs There is a $30 discount right now and free shipping. I am referring to the 'mid' model. The 'high' is $314. The prices Dell is selling them at are crazy. The new HP model with the new OS and wi-fi/bluetooth is around $450.

NAD's presets work great. You can have one for mono movies, one for DD/DTS movies, one for two channel with the bass 'hot', one for two channel with the bass accurate etc. It is a great feature from a company that does not include many bells and whistles. The onscreen menus are also very easy...

I was also thinking that Rotel is overkill for those speakers. But if you go used it would make sense. A used Rotel 5 channel amp should go for around $500 on audiogon. The 1066 preamp (last year's model) should be around $800.
The Cayin TA-30 is the best sub $1000 tube amp I have auditioned. Do a Google search and you will find great reviews. Also check audioasylum for reviews. review: http://www.goodsound.com/equipment/cayin_ta_30.htm Good place to buy (email for a better price): http://www.cayinusa.com/
